MainNovelChapter 515:
So, Gerard made up his mind. “Fine. Tonight, I'll drink with you till we drop!”
Melvin clinked his glass. “Okay.”
A few rounds later, Gerard still held strong.
He'd been drinking with Kristian for years—his tolerance was sky-high. The nightclub pulsed with lights and loud
music, drowning out the world.
Gerard raised his glass again. Noticing Melvin looking tipsy, he leaned in. “Tellabout her. Talking helps, you

over, he figured the moment had arrived.
He slung an arm around Melvin’s shoulder and leaned in, trying for a heart-to-heart. “Sometimes it's better to let
